(Passed the 12th day of February, A. D., 1894.)
Summary of the sections of the Act:
Recitals - mentions an act passed in 1893 (Chapter 46 of the Acts of 1893) which set out some arrangements for payments to the Government of Nova Scotia of some money due to the Western Counties Railway to pay some obligations the company then had to the Government.

The Government therefor proposed the following sums to be paid before or on November 30: $65,000 for the Government of Nova Scotia, $10,000 for the municipality of Annapolis, and $10,000 for the municipality of Digby. For the balance owed, the syndicate controlling the railway would have until May 1st, 1894 to pay the amount plus applicable interest.
